Need I say more? :)

let me make sure I understand. Because we are not one mindless mass, all blindly following the same doctrine, our religion is false? You do realize that for the first 1300 years (give or take a couple decades) of Christianity we were ALL Catholic? Then there some differences of opinion. Ol Martin Luther (my…

I don't understand why you're so into the whole Christians disagreeing with each other thing. While Christians disagree on some issues, like gay marriage, political structure, the modern validity of the Old Testament, etc., we all pretty much agree that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived 33 years the last 3 of which…

best dragon concept since Alduin. Beautiful!

What exactly do you want from me? You're clearly unwilling to try and see things from my point of view, and are pretty convinced that I'm a horrible person. So what is the point of this conversation beyond your childish attempts to shame me and my religion. Take your self-righteous bile elsewhere, I'm done with you.

I wasn't going to comment again, but dammit I need to say this: "deserving of hell" doesn't mean "going to hell." I believe God has infinite forgiveness, and even the worst human in the world can earn it. Sometimes I think maybe if we screw up too badly, God just sends us back here to try again.

You have put a lot of words in my mouth, based on the fact that I am offended by your lack of respect. I am not required to defend my religious beliefs to anyone, and while you are entitled to your opinion, good manners generally dictate that you refrain from saying things which the other party might take offense to.

these are really cool, but I would feel like an exhibit in an alien zoo if I lived in one of these...

you don't see the deep sarcasm in your words?

But why do you assume that I do not question things? I've had multiple conversations with different atheists, all of whom seem to be under the impression that I'm just blindly following dogma. That I don't think about the world around me.

I stated my opinion, there was no attack or insult involved. Nor was there mocking, at least not on my part.

I don't have to defend my faith to you. I'm a grown woman, 33 years old, fully capable of thinking for myself, thank you very much. Do you honestly believe these things have never occurred to me? Do you think I just sit in my little convent, counting my rosary like a good girl and never think for myself?

Actually, only really fundamental Christians believe Adam and Eve were actual people. Most of us believe the story is an allegory.

wow, there were dozens of funnels - amazing! Meteorology just fascinates me! And, as someone who lives near Lake Michigan, I can tell you that the Great Lakes fuck with the weather FOR SURE. Growing up in the area has taught me a lot about how fucked up the skies can be!

Why must the two be related? Could the birth of Christ not have been a singular event?
Society has been saved, just not on this world. That's the whole point of the religion, that this world is temporary, the next is permanent and that is where we really want to be saved. We are here to learn and grow, how can we do…

I actually loved the Daenarys frees the slaves scene, but I haven't read the books so I have no expectations, lol.

my bad, I have trouble following these things in this forum. They're not very clear...

everyone deserves respect, whether or not you agree with them. Christians weren't always the greatest people, but it's not like horrible crimes against humanity are the sole purview of religion. The truth is that people suck, and if they want a reason to hate someone, they'll find one. Religion is usually the most…
